Easy draws for Hearts, Kotoko…in Tier II special competition

Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have received relatively easy draws in the round of 32 knockout championship to produce a representative for the CAF Confederations Cup competition.

The Tier II Special Competition conducted on Sunday had the Porcupine Warriors pitched against former Premier League side, Real Tamale United (RTU) with the Phobians also tipped to advance after being drawn against Uncle T Stars.

The 32 participating teams are made up of top four clubs from each zone of the Premier League clubs competition as well as Division One League (DOL) competition.

The pairings were made according to Zones to avoid the huge costs involved in travelling to match centers.
